Bedwetter!

I have always been a bedwetter, although I've tried very hard to stop. I've tried meds and even hypnosis. Nothing worked, and I still wet most nights.

I wear cloth diapers and plastic pants to control the wetness and the odor. It's embarrassing, but probably better than the alternative. Lots of people know, and some are nice about it, some not so much.

I'm still hoping that I'll 'grow out of it', but I realize some never do, and I'm getting older. We'll see.

i also have been a bedwetter for all my life and i am 57 yrs. old. i've tried disposable's and they just don't work as good as the cloth and plastic pant's do. i really don't care what other people think about it, because if they don't have the problem they don't understand so they have no idea. so i don't bother caring to know them.

Hi all thought I might give you adifferent view was in my 50's when started having problems and to go back to diapers at my age was a big blow to my ego especialy wetting the bed but just had to do it.The main thing is not to let it control your life.

Brad, my name is mike, and i've been a bedwetter all my life. I also had daytime accidents, wetting, and constant heavy bedwetting. I also get my diapers, from kins. they work the best for me. i use comco plastic pants with the cloth diapers.When i was your age there was nothing but cloth, and plastic pants. I can appreciate, what your going through. and what your feeling. I even had to wear my diapers to school, under my clothes. And yes all my friends knew that i wore. most were ok with it. you have great courage, to come out, and talk about your problem. i commend you for your bravery, and compassion with others. Your a good kid. I'll pray for you, that god can help you. later, Mike Staron 1-517-592-2202 Michigan .

Brad,

I am a Hypnotist and have developed a unique methodology for stopping enuresis or bedwetting. If you could get your parents to email me and I could discuss my method with them.
